Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes as Super Typhoon Man-yi is making landfall along the eastern coast of Catanduanes, Philippines on Saturday.

Super Typhoon Man-yi made landfall in the Philippines on Saturday, bringing destructive winds and torrential rain to a nation still recovering from a series of powerful storms that have killed more than 160 people and caused widespread damage.

Nearly 180,000 people in the central region of Bicol have been evacuated, data from the disaster agency showed. Man-yi, locally known as Pepito, would be the sixth tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in a month.
